Summer is a time of passion. But even with everything that’s going on in the heat of the night, we can be left feeling a little dry – a little void of the passion we need or desire to go out there and live our best lives.

Sometimes you need a kick in the pants from someone you admire. Here are Yogascapes, we go bit and go on retreat to kickstart our passion. But we also call on a few of our favorites when we’re feeling a little uninspired and it usually reminds us that we’re in the driver’s seat of our lives and a vibrant, passionate life awaits us. We just have to go for it.

These are a few of our favorite quotes about passion:

1. “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”- Harriet Tubman

2. “There is no passion to be found playing small–in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” – Nelson Mandela

3. “Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” – Oprah Winfrey
